Jun 13th
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers.

Alongside Reynolds the film stars Blake Lively, Mark Strong, Jon Tenney, Geoffrey Rush, Tim Robbins, Angela Bassett and Michael Clarke Duncan. Check out what Peter Sarsgaard had to say about ‘Green Lantern’ below. In the film Peter Sarsgaard stars as Dr. Hector Hammond, a scientist who discovers the fragments of a strange meteor that causes his brain to grow to enormous size, granting him psionic powers. Look out for ‘Green Lantern’ in cinemas June 17th.
How much did you know about Green Lantern before you started this?
Peter Sarsgaard: None, I knew nothing about it. To be honest I don’t know the world of comics that well. I grew up in a rural area where we just did stuff outside all the time, we pretended we were superheroes, but they weren’t based off actual ones.
Did you dive into the comic books to prepare?
Peter Sarsgaard: Yeah, I wanted to know about it. I went back and read some. There’s a place around the corner from my house in Brooklyn, a comic book shop, the guy who runs it…it’s on Bergen Street in Brooklyn, the guy there set me up, he said you need to know this one, you need to know this one, the defining ones.

The purple is a good look, how was that getting used to?
Mark Strong: Thank you very much. I saw the whole process happening so I was amazed. What was really freaky was when I Skyped my wife and kids looking like it, that was an event (laughs). It was a shock for them. Everyday I would Skype her and say, “Hi, it’s your alien husband here.” It really freaked her out. My kids are six and three and a half, they’re used to the idea that Dad does strange stuff now.
Shia LaBeouf Talks ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ – Says It’s His Final Transformers Insallment
Jun 10th
Talking to MTV at the MTV Movie Awards, Shia LaBeouf spoke on ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ being he and director Michael Bay’s final Transformers outing: “For sure. I’m not coming back to do another one. I don’t think Mike will either. It still is a hot property, I think, especially coming out of the third one. So I imagine they’ll reboot it at some point with someone else.”
Touching on the possibility of a future reboot, LaBouf spoke on whether it will be strange to see someone else hanging out with Optimus Prime and Bumblebee: “Yeah,” LaBeouf admitted. “You have an onus in it. I’ll enjoy it. I’ll go [see it] opening night, I’ll be there. But there is a disconnect. It’s mine, dude,” he joked of his role in the blockbuster franchise. “It’s mine.”
Finally Labouf definitely seems confident that he and Bay are going out with a bang: “['Dark of the Moon'] is the best movie we’ve made, I’m serious,” he assured us. “It’s not a joke. I’m dead honest, man. I get myself in trouble all the time, but this is our best installment. It’s our best movie.” ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ comes to cinemas June 29th.
UK Trailer For ‘The Help’ – Starring Viola Davis, Emma Stone & Octavia Spencer
Jun 8th
Empire have released this UK trailer for the upcoming feature film adaptation of Kathryn Stockett’s critically acclaimed and bestselling novel ‘The Help.’ Set in Mississippi during the early activities of the civil rights movement in the early 1960s, ‘The Help’ intertwines the personal and political history of Jackson, Miss, telling the story of three women, recent college graduate Skeeter (Emma Stone), wise maid Aibileen (Viola Davis), and Aibileen’s best friend Minny (Ocatvia Spencer). The likes of Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Lowell, Mike Vogel, David Oyelowo, Anna Camp, Sissy Spacek, Ahna O Reilly, and Allison Janney also star. ‘The Help’ hits US cinemas August 12th, and UK cinemas October 28th.
Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon, “The Help” stars Emma Stone (“Easy A”) as Skeeter, Academy Award®–nominated Viola Davis (“Doubt”) as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minny—three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed—even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times. Deeply moving, filled with poignancy, humor and hope, “The Help” is a timeless and universal story about the ability to create change.
